About Dairy Flat School

Dairy Flat School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 275 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 425. The school has been open since 1878.

With 275 students on roll, Dairy Flat School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 58% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 425, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

The largest group is European at 74%, with a meaningful Asian community at 15.6% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.4 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
